Post 1: The reading I found interesting was “consider the lobster”. It was little shocking to me to think that boiling lobster or cooking lobster is cruel, I only loved eating it while on the other hand, I did not want to see the process of cooking. This article gave me new perspective in cooking lobster and I thought that it is hard to decide whether it is right or wrong because it is a dilemma for people who eat any kind of meat, and everyone will have to be vegetarians. I saw how people’s thoughts can vary widely depending on who is reading it. The reading I found that was interesting was the article which I read during my annotated bibliography, “6 countries around the world where curry is a big deal“. I chose curry because it is one of my favourites and I knew it is in many countries with different styles, but I did not know how exactly they differ and the article explained how they differ in details.

Post 2: I did not know what exactly is the rhetoric of food before this class. I can now say that it is one distinct genre of rhetoric, a communication topic. People write, talk, record about food and interact with the readers. Foods are different and distinct in countries, cultures, races and more. Food is essential for people’s living so it has grown up to be one huge medium in our lives. I can see at least one things that is related about food it I spend no more than 5 minutes on the internet. It is a common language across the world. People communicate, agree or debate their own thoughts and share them. The rhetoric of food will grow together with the internet.
